Rust bindings for the NumPy C-API

API documentation
-------------
- [Latest release (possibly broken)]https://docs.rs/numpy
- [Current Master]https://rust-numpy.github.io/rust-numpy


Requirements
-------------
- current nightly rust (see https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/issues/5 for nightly features, and
https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/blob/master/build.rs for minimum required version)
- some rust libraries
  - [ndarray]https://github.com/bluss/ndarray for rust-side matrix library
  - [pyo3]https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3 for cpython binding
  - and more (see [Cargo.toml]Cargo.toml)
- [numpy]http://www.numpy.org/ installed in your python environments (e.g., via `pip install numpy`)

**Note**
Starting from 0.3, rust-numpy migrated from rust-cpython to pyo3.
If you want to use rust-cpython, use version 0.2.1 from crates.io.

Supported python version
-------------
Currently 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 are supported.

By default, rust-numpy is built for Python3.

If you want to compile for Python2, please add a feature flag in `Cargo.toml` like

``` toml
[dependencies.numpy]
version = "0.4.0"
features = ["python2"]
```
.

You can also automatically specify python version in [setup.py](examples/simple-extension/setup.py), 
using [setuptools-rust](https://github.com/PyO3/setuptools-rust).


Example
---------


## Execute a Python program from Rust and get results

``` toml
[package]
name = "numpy-test"

[dependencies]
pyo3 = "0.5.2"
numpy = "0.4.0"
```

``` rust
extern crate numpy;
extern crate pyo3;
use numpy::{PyArray1, get_array_module};
use pyo3::prelude::{ObjectProtocol, PyResult, Python};
use pyo3::types::PyDict;

fn main() -> Result<(), ()> {
    let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
    main_(gil.python()).map_err(|e| {
        eprintln!("error! :{:?}", e);
        // we can't display python error type via ::std::fmt::Display
        // so print error here manually
        e.print_and_set_sys_last_vars(gil.python());
    })
}

fn main_<'py>(py: Python<'py>) -> PyResult<()> {
    let np = py.import("numpy")?;
    let dict = PyDict::new(py);
    dict.set_item("np", np)?;
    let pyarray: &PyArray1<i32> = py
        .eval("np.absolute(np.array([-1, -2, -3], dtype='int32'))", Some(&dict), None)?
        .extract()?;
    let slice = pyarray.as_slice();
    assert_eq!(slice, &[1, 2, 3]);
    Ok(())
}
```

## Write a Python module in Rust

Please see the [example](example) directory for a complete example

```toml
[lib]
name = "rust_ext"
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

[dependencies]
numpy = "0.4.0"
ndarray = "0.12"

[dependencies.pyo3]
version = "0.5.2"
features = ["extension-module"]
```

```rust
extern crate ndarray;
extern crate numpy;
extern crate pyo3;

use ndarray::{ArrayD, ArrayViewD, ArrayViewMutD};
use numpy::{IntoPyArray, PyArrayDyn};
use pyo3::prelude::{pymodinit, Py, PyModule, PyResult, Python};

#[pymodinit]
fn rust_ext(_py: Python, m: &PyModule) -> PyResult<()> {
    // immutable example
    fn axpy(a: f64, x: ArrayViewD<f64>, y: ArrayViewD<f64>) -> ArrayD<f64> {
        a * &x + &y
    }

    // mutable example (no return)
    fn mult(a: f64, mut x: ArrayViewMutD<f64>) {
        x *= a;
    }

    // wrapper of `axpy`
    #[pyfn(m, "axpy")]
    fn axpy_py(
        py: Python,
        a: f64,
        x: &PyArrayDyn<f64>,
        y: &PyArrayDyn<f64>,
    ) -> Py<PyArrayDyn<f64>> {
        let x = x.as_array();
        let y = y.as_array();
        axpy(a, x, y).into_pyarray(py).to_owned()
    }

    // wrapper of `mult`
    #[pyfn(m, "mult")]
    fn mult_py(_py: Python, a: f64, x: &PyArrayDyn<f64>) -> PyResult<()> {
        let x = x.as_array_mut();
        mult(a, x);
        Ok(())
    }

    Ok(())
}
```
